### What is TLS\_CHACHA20\_POLY1305\_SHA256?



TLS\_CHACHA20\_POLY1305\_SHA256 uses ChaCha20 stream cipher with Poly1305 authenticator, designed by Daniel J. Bernstein. ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher suite optimized for software implementations, particularly on mobile devices without AES hardware acceleration. On ARM processors (common in smartphones), ChaCha20-Poly1305 is 2-3x faster than AES-GCM. Google Chrome and Android prefer this cipher suite on mobile devices. ChaCha20-Poly1305 provides 256-bit security and is resistant to timing attacks. It is mandatory in TLS 1.3 and increasingly popular for IoT and mobile scenarios.



 

### Role in JA3 Fingerprinting



The **TLS\_CHACHA20\_POLY1305\_SHA256** cipher suite is part of the TLS Client Hello that JA3 analyzes. Cipher suite order and selection are key indicators of browser type and version.

**JA3 Format:** `TLS_VERSION,CIPHERS,EXTENSIONS,CURVES,POINT_FORMATS`

Different browsers prioritize different cipher suites (Chrome prefers ChaCha20 on mobile, Firefox prioritizes AES-GCM, etc.), making cipher suite ordering a reliable fingerprint.
